Besides the unique Rotorua aroma, we were very happy with how spacious our room was for the four of us. This meant we weren’t tripping o we each other when relaxing before bed or getting flames to go out. Kitchen amenities were perfect for our needs and the staff were helpful and friendly when we a so Jed for more milk. An enjoyable experience and value for money in our view. Thank you 😊

Shower barely had water pressure and could not get any cold water - had to hold washcloth to soak up volcanically hot water and let it cool. Might as well have used the sink! It’s also challenging to park here even with a small car. Limited and awkward spaces.
